South Lanarkshire Council has pledged to help plant 18 million trees over the next decade.
At the Climate Change and Sustainability committee meeting yesterday (November 9), councillors approved plans to plant the trees as part of the Glasgow City Region.
The Glasgow City Region Cabinet, which South Lanarkshire Council is a part of, launched The Clyde Climate Forest in June last year with the main aim to plant 18 million trees over the next decade.
